Draw a figure that illustrates the reflection and refraction of light.
(N/A) The figure shows a light ray incident on an interface between two media $(1)$ and $(2)$.
$1$. Reflection: When the incident ray strikes the surface,a part of it bounces back into the same medium. The angle of incidence $i$ is equal to the angle of reflection $i$.
$2$. Refraction: The remaining part of the light ray enters the second medium and changes its direction. The angle of refraction is denoted by $r$.

An observer can see through a small hole on the side of a jar (radius $15\, cm$) at a point at a height of $15\, cm$ from the bottom (see figure). The hole is at a height of $45\, cm$. When the jar is filled with a liquid up to a height of $30\, cm$,the same observer can see the edge at the bottom of the jar. If the refractive index of the liquid is $N/100$,where $N$ is an integer,the value of $N$ is $.....$

View SolutionThe optical path of a particular ray of light that has travelled a distance of $3 \ cm$ in flint glass is the same as that of a ray travelling a distance of '$x$' $cm$ through another medium. The value of '$x$' is [refractive index of flint glass $= 1.6$, refractive index of another medium $= 1.25$]. (in $cm$)
